Simple Creamy Ranch Dip
This simple creamy ranch dip is a delicious veggie dip made with mayonnaise, sour cream, dry ranch seasoning, and garlic powder. It's easy to prepare, quick, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Seasoning
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in the ranch seasoning and garlic powder until combined.
- Adjust taste if needed (if you find it's too tangy, add a little more mayo).
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for the flavors to combine.
Notes
Variations:
- Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese for an extra creamy version of this dip.
- Lighten this dip up by replacing half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. You can also use light sour cream and mayonnaise, but just keep in mind that light sour cream can be more tangy, so you may need to adjust the taste and add a little bit more mayo and chill for up to 2 hours.
- Spice up your dip with a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- If you want the dip to be extra mild, use only a ¾ packet of the ranch seasoning.
Helpful Tips:
- Make sure to chill before serving for at least an hour, so the flavors blend.
- Depending on what ranch packet you use or if you decide to use light mayonnaise or sour cream, I would recommend tasting before chilling and adjust as needed.
Storage
- Store ranch dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Stir well before serving.
